Chapter 284: Ambition and Choice

The Central Plains Dynasty is the dynasty that likes to be reasonable and like face.

And its own national strength is strong, even after decades of war, its national strength is still above other countries, especially its huge population base, and cultural heritage, which is the envy of other countries.

Its co-conspirators, as well as other sects and factions, have taken these cultures to the extreme.

The founder of Harmony (Harmony does not write his name) once encouraged his disciples: 'Even if you are far away in China, you should seek it. ’

Chinese culture was unprecedented in this period, standing on top of the world, in which no country could be compared with the Tang Dynasty, whether it was cultural, economic, or military.

Li Yuanji, who was unstable, remembered the integration of the Silk Road, hoping that through this Silk Road, the Western Regions would gradually be included as the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

A road, to co-opt the entire surrounding country, seems a bit fantastical.

But when one unstable person enables another unstable person, when two unstable people come together, it basically happens.

Li Yuanji is particularly fond of using young people, and although this point has not been fully rolled out, it has become a trend.

Xu Jing, who commanded the caravan, Su Dingfang, who commanded the Western Expedition, and Wang Xuance, who was in charge of the later planning, were all young people, the youngest in his early twenties, and the oldest in his early thirties.

Just like the veteran Xue Wanjun, he can only become the deputy chief manager and follow Su Dingfang as an assistant.

And Xue Wanche and other veterans who followed Li Yuanji in the first batch, can only defend one side now, although the responsibility is arduous, but the meaning of the existence of this group of people is more waiting for the growth of the younger generation.

Li Yuanji's control of military power made everyone only shake their heads and sigh, not daring to have any thoughts about it.

Even if Li Yuanji did not personally seize the core power of an army, these generals who commanded the army were still unable to lead their troops to rebel or rebel to the enemy as before.

Interests, huge interests, these grassroots soldiers and Li Yuanji are firmly tied together.

The stupidest way has become the most inseparable relationship of interest.

Facts have proved that as long as a soldier can live a good life, no one wants to rebel.

The reorganization of military power, all expenditures by the central court, seemed to increase the burden of the imperial court, but also firmly controlled the army thousands of miles away.

The generous treatment is so high that no general can afford it.

When military power and ambition were united, what happened today.

Although Li Yuanji is still the same Li Yuanji who sleeps lazily and lazily every day, some things have already been arranged, and the work progress of the entire imperial court has not been dragged down because of personal laziness.

Xu Jing is responsible for provoking trouble, whether he has nothing to do or deliberately looking for trouble, anyway, he is looking for trouble and finding a suitable reason to send troops.

Su Dingfang is only responsible for fighting, and when he receives news from Xu Jing, he will send troops, or personally lead the troops to fight over, or beat them to fear, or destroy them, no matter what, it is a fight anyway.

Wang Xuance is responsible for cleaning up the mess afterwards, no matter what the first two people do, Wang Xuance is responsible for it in the end.

For a young man, Li Yuanji gave incredible trust.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, or because Wang Xuance is too famous.

Although Tang Jian was more suitable and more secure than him, Li Yuanji still chose Wang Xuance, who is still very young and has no political achievements.

Picking, fighting, pulling, a whole set of combination punches, even those conspirators in the Central Plains will be confused, not to mention these countries in the Western Regions in a semi-civilized state?

After receiving the news of Yiwu's destruction, Wang Xuance immediately began to deal with the aftermath.

Fighting is not absolute, if you can not fight, it is naturally the best, what the Tang army needs to do now is to rest and recuperate, is to accumulate strength.

Although the 50,000 people under the command of Su Dingfang have been reorganized and have strong combat effectiveness, the other directions have just begun, and it will take time to rectify, so we must stop and wait.

Procrastination, grace, and might, although it has not been operated, Wang Xuance is very proficient in this.

He directly sent his subordinates out and went to Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Yanzhi, Qiuzi, Anxi and other places, and invited them to send people to Yumen Pass for negotiations.

In between, Su Dingfang's first task was to sweep away the entire Yiwu, while Xu Jing was doing business with peace of mind, and if it was possible, it would naturally be best to destroy another country.

……

The plan is still the same plan, the plan that was set before the expedition.

So when the situation was put on the desk, Li Yuanji was not too surprised.

Destroying an unsuccessful Iwu kingdom is not a problem at all, and it is not as difficult as a counterinsurgency at home.

At present, the combat effectiveness of the armies of the Western Regions countries is still very weak, and even the most powerful Western Turks are not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty now.

Just glanced at the report and handed over the matter to Fang Xuanling to deal with, the idle Li Yuanji went to watch the sketch.

Nowadays, sketches have become a form of entertainment for the masses, and most of the talents who are good at creating are gathered in the palace, and after being carved and revised, they are staged in front of Li Yuanji, and later promoted to various theaters.

In fact, to raise these creative talents, the imperial court did not give out a penny, and Li Yuanji's small treasury also did not give a penny.

Is it really hard to make money? In Li Yuanji's opinion, it is not difficult at all, sitting on great resources, and even making the treasury short of money, it can only show that the previous rulers were too mediocre.

Of course, in fact, Li Yuanji's thinking was too advanced.

Who would have thought that the works created by these creators could be taken to the theater for audition, if the audience loved it, and the theater decided to continue the performance, then it would need to pay a part of the money, although this part of the money was to be taken away by the imperial court, but for these creators, it was also a huge amount of money, and there were no dozens of times, and they still wanted to take it? No way.

In this era where you can earn three dollars a day, what does it mean?

All kinds of policies are smashed down in a mess, no matter whether others are stunned or not, anyway, the people are stunned.

But it doesn't matter if you're confused, the facts can speak, and it turns out that these policies have indeed brought about huge changes for them, no matter what, a family can have a daily income of at least three yuan, and with money, this life will be better.

No, there is another good policy, although some people don't like this policy, but there are still a lot of people who pay attention to it.

In these years, there is no such thing as a good man not being a soldier, and he is not nailed.

Only by being a soldier can there be a way out, and in the past, the government soldiers could not be anyone, and those who did not have a little family background could not be a drop.

But now it's different, even if your family background is not good, as long as other conditions meet the requirements, you can still be a soldier.

"Name!" A civilian officer sat on the table, glanced at the person in front of him, looked down at the two rosters in his hand, and asked.

"Liu Dazhuang!" Liu Daqiang gasped heavily, if he hadn't rested for a while, he would have almost lost his breath.

"Age!"

"Two out of twenty!"

Liu Dazhuang felt that he was about to die, and he was simply inhumane.

I've seen the process of the government ordering troops before, but I've never seen anything like this.

Come up and ask a general situation, meet the requirements to enter the selection, two hard indicators, there are no technical requirements, is to run, around a large school run, the minimum requirement is to run ten laps, each lap and each point to receive a mark, calculated down almost ten miles.

This is the lowest standard, Liu Dazhuang is good at playing small, he can carry it by himself after many illnesses, although he is thin, but he is also quite strong, this time he ran directly for twenty laps, and the whole person was almost tired and burped.

Then there was a test of sensitivity, in which the sergeant stabbed you with a long stick wrapped around a cloth, and whatever method you used, just dodge.

The speed of the stab is not fast, and the strength is not great, normal people can basically dodge it, only a few unlucky people have taken a few hits, but it is still passing.

Then he came here, Liu Dazhuang looked confused, and he didn't know what to do next.

"You have two choices, one is to stay on the mainland, and the other is to go to the frontier, you think about it yourself."

"What? Can you still choose your own? Liu Dazhuang was a little confused, but the treatment of the local and frontier was announced earlier, whether it was the local or the frontier, the treatment was very attractive.

Of course, there are also some small episodes, such as ordinary people who have little culture, and they don't even know what it means to be local.

"Of course, His Majesty's instructions on this are that he will never force anyone to go where he does not want to go. Of course, this is only for now, after entering the army, there is no choice, so now you should choose well. ”

The homeland and the frontier have their own advantages.

Seeking stability at home, there is basically no major event now, it is just training, and there are not many opportunities to participate in the war, but there are not many opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

The frontier is easier to make meritorious contributions, and the salary is high, which is very suitable for those who are so poor that they are surrounded by walls, although it is dangerous, but the harvest is more.

"Go to the Frontier!" Hearing that he could choose by himself, Liu Dazhuang said his choice almost without thinking.

There are many children in his family, eight brothers and sisters, the eldest is in his thirties, and the younger is only in his teens, that is, Liu Dazhuang himself, he also has three children, and now the fourth child is pregnant, although he is reluctant to leave the homeland, but the pressure is so great, grabbing a job outside can almost be described as a war, since he is a professional soldier, there is no difference between the local and the frontier.

Liu Dazhuang had thought about it early in the morning, and he had been praying that he would be assigned to the frontier.

The current military reform is mainly to copy the reform method of the Qi army, completely breaking the previous rules and regulations, and breaking the rule of taking turns to defend the border.

But this does not mean that the native army will not go to the frontier, they will go, but only as part of the training, and there is no need to be stationed for a long time.

The statistician wrote Liu Dazhuang's name on the roster of the frontier, and then moved on to the next one.

The monthly military salary of 200 yuan, one month of vacation per year, and an extra month's military salary every year are still very attractive.
